Sony Alpha RAW
The raw format powering the mirrorless revolution.
ARW is the raw image format used by Sony's Alpha series cameras (like the A7, A6000, and ZV series) and Cyber-shot RX series. As Sony became the dominant player in the mirrorless camera market, ARW became one of the most common raw formats in the world. ARW files contain the raw data from Sony's Exmor sensors. They are known for their malleability, allowing photographers to push shadows and pull highlights to extreme degrees without the image breaking apart.
ARW files are TIFF-based containers. Sony offers three main compression types: 1. **Uncompressed**: Massive files, but guaranteed maximum data integrity. 2. **Compressed (Lossy)**: The default for years. It uses a delta-compression scheme that can occasionally cause 'star eater' artifacts or posterization around high-contrast edges, but saves 50% space. 3. **Lossless Compressed**: Introduced in newer models (A7 IV, A1) to solve the quality issues of lossy compression without the massive size of uncompressed.
ARW replaced the older SR2 format. It has gone through several iterations (v2.3, v4.0). The format faced controversy in the past due to its lossy compression algorithm, which led Sony to introduce the Uncompressed and later Lossless Compressed options in response to user demand.
JPEG 2000 Code Stream
Another extension for the raw JPEG 2000 code stream.
J2K is functionality identical to J2C. It represents a raw JPEG 2000 codestream without the JP2 file format wrapper. It is often used interchangeably with J2C and JPC in technical contexts.
Like J2C, a J2K file contains the wavelet-compressed image data (SOP/EPH markers). It relies on the decoder to interpret the stream markers correctly without the 'boxes' found in the JP2 container format.
Part of the ISO/IEC 15444-1 standard. The multiple extensions (.j2k, .j2c, .jpc) arose from different vendor implementations early in the standard's life.
